Ep. 1: Universal Music, Duck Dynasty, Mr. Paul Vander Klay, Mr. C. Michael Patton, & Mr. Boethius
Thank you for being you & thank you for visiting!
In this video, I'm commencing a new series on hymnology :) If you'd like to see a list of sources which I cited in this video (& comments I forgot to include), please consider checking out https://deopatriaelitteris.wordpress.com/2023/01/27/hymn-huh-ep-1-universal-music-duck-dynasty-mr-paul-vander-klay-mr-c-michael-patton-mr-boethius/ . And if you'd like to see some summaries of points & skip to particular sections, please check out the 'Some Timestamps' provided just below.
I hope you'll enjoy the music & fodder for thought sprinkled throughout this piece! (Pssst...A not-so-secret-secret: for extra fun, around the 57th minute, I include a spontaneous 20-min. musical improv session.) I'm trying to up my YouTube game-- I recorded this with a Blue Yeti mic, and I'm looking into utilizing OBS for even better audio quality in the future. But I offer my sincerest apologies for this episode's low video quality. Yet again, I used iMovie as my editor; but I couldn't spare enough multi-GB hard drive space to upload this episode in terms of ProRes 4k 😅
P.S. If you'd like to support me in this project of mine (or related artistic and scholarly endeavors), I'm working on starting up a Patreon account or a Locals account. I'll aim to update this sentence with a link once I'm all set up :)

- It's seems like a great way to fuse my LTWR BA, Music AA, & Great Books background (06:16 - 10:13)

- I know of very few CofC figures who openly engage with religious-political 'de-construction' and 're-construction', and I want to try to join that seemingly small chorus of CofC figures & craft this niche sort of video that I wish I could've seen years ago (11:08 - 12:56)
- For those who may not know about Churches of Christ, here's a super brief explanation of Church History leading up to Stone-Campbell Restoration Movement affiliated congregations (12:57 - 17:54)
- I love the Estuary movement which more or less gravitates around Mr. Paul Vander Klay, & I so would like to join a local Estuary group if there is one (17:55 - 18:40)
